Hewson Hill is one of three heavily forested hills around 5km from Stradbally and close to the Rock of Dunamase. Finding the actual entrance to start this walk proved difficult as it is surrounded by a lot of privately owned land but I was determined to succeed as it is part of my local 100. Google maps got me to the actual road it is on and after that just be observant for a gate way on the left to the track. Poorly signposted but there was parking. The track was overgrown in places and the summit was very difficult to reach due to the amount of fallen trees from previous years storm damage. Limited views due to the heavy forestry but otherwise it was a pleasant stroll. Took about an hour and 15 minutes, not bad considering that I had a 10 year old and an 8 year old in tow. Views from the surrounding area of the Rock of Dunamase are well worth a visit. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/1201/comment/18191/
